Zambia is officially a Christian nation according to the 1996 constitution,
[55] but a wide variety of religious traditions exist. Traditional religious thoughts blend easily with Christian beliefs in many of the country's
syncretic churches. About three-fourths of the population is
Protestant while about 20% follow
Roman Catholicism. Christian denominations include Catholicism,
Anglicanism,
Pentecostalism,
New Apostolic Church,
Lutheranism,
Jehovah's Witnesses, the
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
Branhamites, and a variety of
Evangelical denominations.
These grew, adjusted and prospered from the original missionary settlements (
Portuguese and Catholicism in the east from
Mozambique) and Anglicanism (British influences) from the south. Except for some technical positions (e.g. physicians), Western missionary roles have been assumed by native believers. After
Frederick Chiluba (a Pentecostal Christian) became president in 1991, Pentecostal congregations expanded considerably around the country.
[56] Zambia has one of the largest percentage of
Seventh-day Adventist per capita in the world, accounting for about 1 in 18 Zambians.
[57] The
Lutheran Church of Central Africa has over 11,000 members in the country.
[58]
Counting only active preachers, Jehovah's Witnesses in Zambia have over 204,000 adherents
[59] with over 930,000 attending their annual observance of Christ's death in 2018. These have been preaching there since 1911
[60]
One in 11 Zambians is a member of the New Apostolic Church.[

The
Baha'i population of Zambia is over 160,000,
[61] or 1.5% of the population. The William Mmutle Masetlha Foundation run by the Baha'i community is particularly active in areas such as literacy and primary health care. Approximately 1% of the population are
Muslims, most of whom live in urban areas and play a large economic role in the country.
[62] There are about 500 people who belong to the
Ahmadiyya sect.
[63] There is also a small Jewish community, composed mostly of
Ashkenazis.
